On Airbnb, it has more than 200 glowing reviews and a total average rating of 4.95 stars. So what's Porterfield's rating of the cabin? Five out of five 'really cool, old ovens.' She wasn't the only one who was charmed by the Tiny Catskill Cabin. Nearby, guests can also explore New Paltz and Woodstock, charming towns with cute stores and restaurants. Ideal for guests who love outdoor activities, the cabin is just a short drive from Minnewaska State Park Preserve, which is home to scenic hiking trails, great rock climbing spots, and sparkling waterfalls.

Plus, there's a cozy campsite with benches, a hammock, and a fire pit-prefect for making S'mores. Steps away from the patio is an inviting outdoor space with a charcoal grill and a 4-seat patio table. Furnished with comfy seating and a fireplace, it's the perfect space to unwind with a cup of coffee or a cocktail. Ultimately, we wanted to find a place that would allow us to be completely self-contained, and most importantly, forget the outside world-even if it was for just 72 hours.While it is a tiny house, guests won't feel cramped, thanks to a stunning three-season patio that doubles the cabin's living space.

Our requirements for an Airbnb were extensive but reasonable, given the circumstances: a well-equipped kitchen so we could cook extravagant group meals, a decent amount of space to ensure we never felt on top of each other, at least one fireplace, and plenty of grounds to explore outside of the house. Thankfully, a few of my friends had already begun hatching a plan to head upstate for a long weekend in search of some much-needed space and distraction, and to my relief I soon had a vacation marked on my calendar.
